>>71088105
Thank you

>>71088472
thought this was going to be masturbatory sound design-y trap but it was pretty cool. As much as I don't think it should become that, I feel like it could use a more significant bass, like a lp'd saw or something.

I'd love to hear it with drums if you're planning on going that route

Just watched this:

http://www.factmag.com/2015/09/10/how-to-make-a-legowelt-track/

His workflow is really interesting, basically he assembles a load of samples/loops etc in Ableton, then at 11:40 starts playing the track and mutes/unmutes each clip when he thinks it should be playing.

Anyone else make tracks like this? It's so far removed from how I work but I think it's really interesting

>>71090078
interesting, that's how I do it as well. I'll have like 10 different loops in the beginning and then play around by muting tracks etc.

>>71090078

thanks god

which artists do you guys look up to in terms of production?

>>71088239
yeah. I guess the design will go full cuby loops with the next version

I've got a theory question, I know this isn't the thread for that but I'd really appreciate some help
What scale am I working with? It's a melody on top of a C# and a C flat chord with the third removed. Is it just a C# major scale or can it be something else?

What's the easiest way to produce a natural-sounding guitar/drum sound?

>>71091635

>>71091699
https://clyp.it/u5jafu2t
the reason I'm asking is because I'm doing different stuff with the C# major scale but it doesn't mesh. I just want to figure out which scale I'm in

>>71091622
Theory tip number 1: you can't have "C#" and "Cb" at the same time. The note letter is always represented only once.

So if you have a C# chord, and you're calling it C#, the other chord is not Cb, but B. If you have a Cb chord, and you're calling it Cb, the other chord is not C#, but Db. It might seem pointless but it actually helps you a lot when things get confusing.

From what you're saying. This is what I can guess.

C# = C# E# G#
Cb (no III) = Cb Gb
Obviously this labeling is wrong as we have two C's and two G's so let's try calling one C# and the other B, and work within that naming system.

C# = C# E# G#
B (no III) = B F#
now let's arrange them in order and find the missing notes

C# E# F# G# B
ok so we're missing A and D and our formula as it stands has one half step from E# (which is really just another name for F) to F#. What i would do is try A and A#, and D and D# and see which notes work better for your song. The C# Major scale isn't exactly going to work if C# is your root note because C# major has B# and your "Cb chord" is actually B and F#.

That being said you need to make sure C# is actually the root because it will help you realize where the other halfstep goes in your formula. There are usually always 2.

Thanks man! I'm a huge Clarence Clarity fan so I appreciate that a lot

It's funny, back when I was using Logic there were a lot of things I was trying to do that Clarence Clarity did like extreme layering and relentless glitching but it was only once I heard No Now did I really find a vocabulary to make that sound the way I had been imagining it

you're just mad that I share an opinion that 90% of humans also happen to agree with, and that I admit it shamelessly on a board which thinks "if many people think so, it must be inherently wrong"

I don't have time for your instrumentals unless they are incredible. If all it has to offer is "a chill vibe", I don't care. I never want that feel.

Not really.

Writing a good melody is like discovering water on the moon. Writing a lyric that properly resonates and defines the ambiguous tones is like using that water to create an ecosystem you can live in. Are there amazing instrumental songs? Absolutely. I listen to tons of classical music and there are rock instrumentals that blow my mind. That being said, people who tend to make current, popular styles of music ("chill beats") without adding a vocal element always strike me as missed opportunities at best and sheer cowardice at worst.

So let me clarify. "chill, electronic music" that has no lyric or vocal element is usually incredibly boring to me and i think most songs benefit immensely from even the sparsest of choices. It's also a trend I see more often than not and when I find a song on here with lyrics I almost always am delightfully surprised.

I'm just using that term to describe a style of music that is common around here. Did I imply I am a lyrical miracle because I advocate for the use of lyrics? Lyrics are important, and songs are often made memorable by them. That's just how it is.

>NO I LIKE MY FUCKING MUSIC THE WAY I MAKE IT FAGGOT I DONT CARE WHAT (((PEOPLE LIKE)))

i've written lyrics before dude, you're just being hilariously pretentious about it and overstating its importance. there are entire genres and scenes based around instrumental music, nobody is benefitting from your "well have you ever thought about some LYRICS???" idiocy lol

I prefer my lyrics to be french women chanting stuff

Zeuhl is neat

>>71093244
Thanks a bunch man :) and no they're harp samples

Diggin your track too, I love the pluck that comes in over the bass and kick

Only thing I would say is try to beef up the low end of the kick, maybe try boosting from like 50-250 Hz. Also maybe try to lock down a consistent melody on the lead, it seems to meander a bit.

>>71093506
>"putting a name to the nameless"
Please explain why this is dumb. Choosing the right words for the music is an incredibly rare skill and often separates good songs from bad.

>there are entire genres and scenes based around instrumental music
they are very unpopular. popularity isn't everything, but many people want feedback and critique on their songs because they want people to listen to them. that's all i did. offer a criticism and suggestion. what have you done, in this thread? post "lol" a bunch? way 2 cringe.

>>71093695
>why do you keep assuming that everyone here is trying to "make it" or "get noticed"?
I'm not. I have said many times please make you what you like if you like it. But people ASK FOR CRITICISM and I say "lyrics would probably help your song it's pretty good otherwise just needs something else probably not more instruments but you could try lyrics i mean most people like lyrics you can tell by trends in music that people have gravitated to songs with lyrics so you could try some lyrics i think it would probably help your song which is otherwise pretty cool"

and then it's like anuddah shoah in here.

I enjoy it but I wish it was a little bit louder in the mix. Or maybe a little less wet. Doesn't have to be necessarily more "intelligible" but feels like it should be more...forthright or something. More direct. Almost feels like it's hiding a bit, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Either way though, absolutely workable and adds a nice texture.

>>71088150
you guys are fags i post links and you just listen to them and ignore them?

is it because you cant tell me to sidechain something so you are instantly out of applicable information?

its like all of you just circlejerk around your shit understandings of production and sound design and only have the ability to attempt to shit on other shit productions from a great height and as soon as anything even remotely not awful comes through all your balls suck back into your stomach because you know dont know fuck all about anything as soon as you cant just autistify your meme advice.

such a shit board filled with terrible musicians with unjustifiable taste in shit music, you tend to revere bad sounds, objectively low quality? why? god knows. but my bet would be because you understand literally nothing about music but enjoying stuff that others think is objectively shit allows you to seperate yourselves from the majority, because you are meta sheep. you lack such independent thinking skills that you attempt to build yourselves a path where you can claim to be different - the thing is - you are all fucking retards.

in my 2 years of intermittently coming to prod i have legit seen less than 10 posts with constructive advise, and ive seen even more posts in reply to these posts that bash the poster because the people reading it have a thorough lack of understanding of anything relating to both theory and production.

>i wouldn't post here for feedback the advice given is.... at best questionable, at worst straight up stupid.
I don't agree 100% but I know what you mean. I think people here try to show off their knowledge more than they try to actually listen and give honest critique.

I will listen to a clyp and look at the feedback and most of it is either "muh overcompression" buzzword or a one word response like "terrible" or "ok", which is just useless.

that being said you can be an excellent critic even if your music is shit. we are far more objective with others than ourselves, so it's not exactly wise to throw out advice simply because that person doesn't have much to show. The problem is when that person isn't really "listening and responding" honestly so much as "trying to impress and establish dominance"

No?

I love electronic music and exclusively use synthesizers and drum machines in my own work. You don't have to be retarded you know. Show me a killer electronic instrumental song, I'd love to hear it.

Here's one of my favorite instrumental songs.

100% with the buzzwords, honest critique? maybe they do,


I saw a thread where someone had pirated deadmouse's tutorials and was complaining about the method being used to teach someone to make chord progressions and arp progressions?

His response was to skip the video.

He then went on the complain about the sound of the synths he was designing, unaware, without thought for future applications. He skipped that video too.

And anon's were supportive of this behaivour. Do these people even WANT to learn?

deadmouse is a faggot with shit tunes but he is where he is because he is a capable musician and a hell of a lot better than you and i.

the whole attitude of /prod/ is one of an entitled child who was given free access to any daw and software and has no investment in learning to use their tools.

whatever, im out, enjoy sucks eachother off.

I've started to think actually a lot of it comes from the mastering step. More than the average producer realizes. Like, you can throw on some shit over the whole track: multiband comp, compression, a bit of eq, and limiting... tape saturation, exciter, whatever else you want... just experiment especially if electronic music...

and your entire thing is gonna sound way, way better and more professional if you're willing to take it somewhere new and exciting

I didn't realize how much the mastering step could add if you're willing to kinda play around as an electronic musician. it will make your stuff pound much harder and will make things go smoothly in one mix

To be fair I think deadmouse is horrid and I wouldn't call anyone who churns out constant shit a "capable musician" BUT there is something to be said for his work ethic and speed that most of us can't hold a candle to. He's like that other guy Savant. Sometimes all you have to do is churn churn churn and you get lucky.

Literally first thing I have ever done
My friend wants to do autotune mumble raps on it

>>71095115
>https://clyp.it/w2dwugn1
Not a fan of that filter on the snare. A little too closed. Or maybe just too much reverb. I dunno. It's like everything has a dark tone and one or two things could stand to be brighter. But it's hard to say without the vocal.

That being said I think it's really well arranged and you have a good sense of keeping the simple interesting via many slight changes. It's hard to critique songs that are incomplete because the "auto-tune vocal" could literally sound like a million things but for a first attempt I think it's p. dope senpai. Good job.

>>71094680
That is the point. I can't quantify why I find it compelling.

>>71095081
but im just jacking myself off tho? if you werent such a literal retard you would be able to determine that the posts are related to the content of the posters and not to do with mine?

the point i made being that you guys DIDNT have ANY comments to make even though 25 different anons played the clyp? nothing to do with my own music, nothing to do with anyone elses, simply the attitude and retarded level of understanding that averages itself out in here.

>>71095110
i personally think his tunes are pretty mediocre but he was in the right place at the right time and he has a great understanding and ability to explain his procedures and intent.

intent is a big part of electronic music in my opinion, obviously you can shoot in the dark and hit the target but why dont you just turn the light on.

>the point i made being that you guys DIDNT have ANY comments to make even though 25 different anons played the clyp?
maybe he played the clyp a bunch before posting it on /prod/ and bumped the viewcount that way. I have no idea what clyp you're even talking about. Some shit falls through the cracks and it's hard to get 'em all. Also, sometimes...there's just nothing to say. Or there is too much to say and everything sucks and it's just not worth the 1500 words because you're tired or you're phoneposting.

>>71094656
I see what you're trying to do, blend in the vocal with the track but you're overdoing it with the sausaging and yeah, the instrumental drowns the voice way too much

>>71095115
hey, if this is the first thing you've ever done, you certainly are on a good track, obviously this is sounding really basic, an 808 on that would probably make it way sweeter, drums need more highs.

>>71095364
of course you dont know what clyp why would you need to know what clyp!?

im not bothered that i received no feedback, im bothered because i -know- that people listening to it would freely shit on it with their meme advise if they could comprehend how to critique music that isnt objectively awful.

i also -know- that every single view was from individual IP's and that the only link in the world was in /prod/

your lack of comprehension skills does not = incoherence

my point is that people come here not to provide constructive criticisms, but to put down others, and that the vast majority of what people think is "constructive advise" is actually memery mixed with buzzwords; and thats born from a general lack of knowledge from (nearly) the entire userbase.

What do you guys think of GarageBand?

projecting. you literally don't know this.

but you literally just said that you are imagining them putting it down in your own mind and that they're not actually putting it down. it sounds tremendously insecure.

>the vast majority of what people think is "constructive advise" is actually memery mixed with buzzwords; and thats born from a general lack of knowledge from (nearly) the entire userbase.
completely agree

I would happily critique your clyp and I give honest feedback. I know tons of music theory and have a good sense of pacing, which most songs on here fail at tremendously. I also wouldn't even hold your weird personality against your music and would analyze it as objectively as possible, without regard to your lashing out and insecurity. You'd get a fair shake.

I never wanted advice, i simply wanted to see what reactions and how many people would click the link, the answer was 36 plays, and 0 reactions.

it was born from this which was just a skit done in a few hours a few days ago where i wanted to sequence hits in and out of breaks
https://clyp.it/yn3ekzud

Clean master, no proper gain staging, no imaging, unfinished automation especially in kick channel(s), very audible during intro. Every sound (including most drums) created individually in FM8 and Serum for the track.

Cmon then /prod/ after what ive said tear me down

>>71096050
>https://clyp.it/5t23oj3x
i dont really like how the bass sounds but this is pretty good compared to what usually gets posted

>>71096050
>https://clyp.it/5t23oj3x
I actually love the way the bass sounds, it's my favorite part.

I wish the drums did something more explosive at the 1:06 transition. Sort of like 1:27 but not as intense so that you could build to 1:27. A building of energy in them during that period mite b kewl.

I enjoy the bridge at 2:52 but I was getting a little bored in the 45 seconds right before that. I wanted another part to come in. Something like a counterpoint to the bass in the higher register. The distorted vocal at 4:30~ is cool as well.

Not really my kind of music but it was cool and I like a lot of the sound design choices. Felt like by the end I had heard the drop->return maybe one too many times but there was always something going on that I found interesting and I very rarely can make it through a whole clyp on /prod/, especially the longer ones, so good job!

Is there a decent Soundcloud alternative that doesn't have a limit on how much music you can upload?

What's a good delay for my Mopho x4? My main concern is being able to do feedback oscillations, and fitting on the empty space on top of the synth. Stereo is preferred. Cost isn't too important, but keep it relative to the price of the synth. Beer bottle provided for scale.

>>71097309
strymon capistan

>>71097347
I like strymon stuff, but I don't like how it's mono in. I was considering the TC electronic ND-1, because it has a ping pong mode that would work well with the stereo stuff the synth can do.

>>71097455
yeah disregard then, I didn't know the mopho could do stereo fx

>>71097491
It's not really impressive in the mono version, but it helps voice spread in the poly and unison modes on the x4.

I actually read into the strymon pedal, and you can use a TRS cable for stereo input, you just need to move a jumper. So I'll probably go that route.

For any /prod/ bros who have a microbrute, check out this patch, it's a really good ambient drone with these random clicks that sound like an NES bass drum. My oscillator might be a little out of tune so adjust by ear, and it only works if you play Bb (cause FM is a bitch)

How do these transition feel for these three parts?
Is it okay to end a chord progression on a III? The pattern that starts a 0:15 ends on III.
I'm in the scale of C Minor

>>71098338
alright so, I can hear you're new to this.
first off, the chords sound pretty aimless, they're not wrong or anything, but they're not really saying anything.
the production itself isn't good, the sounds and samples are bad, the bass sound should be sidechained on the kick, the congas are tonal so they're messing with the chord progressions, that pad needs EQing it's muddying up the entire mix.

t bh i went to the pub and this isnt what i expected to see in response

>>71096153
>>71096593
cheers i guess

i've tried to lower the bass/atmos sounds in attempts to raise the drums into mix since this upload and i *think* it sounds better, although fatigue might be lying to me. will also probably compress the bass sounds a little in an attempt to make them have a similar rms to the drums so that i can make informed decisions about their mix.

my ability to actually compose it pretty lackluster and with some more time ill probably try to redo the order and content of the phrases.

a friend told me to stop making skits and to focus on composing a full timed track and then filling it out, which i guess is what this upload consists of but the attempt it to have a full track to be creative within.

your comments on composition are quite valuable so thank you, but i dont take away from what i said previously.

>>71098933
Thanks! I never thought about the conga's pitch.

Hey guys. Haven't posted here in a while.

https://clyp.it/c0eepr1w

Here's a track I produced as a joke while a friend was over and i got her to record some vocals. Though after she left I took like 3 hours to refine it into something listenable. What do you think anons?

>>71092161
CB isn't a thing

>>71099427
what

>>71099427
>>71092161
I'm sorry, I misread your post.

>>71098338
I don't mind this but i necessarily don't like it either. At least it has a good sense of when to change and you don't waste my time. That's a big thing, imo. Too many amateur songs have intros that are like 30 seconds long and dammit I just don't have that long. Obviously I'm exaggerating but it's nice when a song gets to the point quickly—it helps convey an assertive confidence that often boosts my opinion of the music. It grabs me by the pussy, as it were.

Though I feel like too much happens at the very start. You have the opening crash, the sixteenth note bass, the kick and snare, the melodic toms, the hi hat pattern, and it's not overwhelming but I think it would benefit you to add another 4 measures in the beginning and play around with removing one or two of those elements and staggering their entrances so that they all come in by the time your song used to start. It's a good amount of things happening, it's just too much to immediately process when they all come in at the same time. It's much easier to track a part mentally when we hear it enter on its own or maybe with only one other element. This can be used to highlight certain parts because when they come in it's like they're taking the stage. Our ear always detects the new thing. That's why it's nice sometimes to introduce multiple elements at once because your ear might be drawn strongly to one thing while the others slip in "undetected", adding energy/groove/harmony etc.

best part ~30seconds but it sounds VERY familiar even though I can't quite place it. It feels like I've heard it before, but it's got personality.

one last thing, the low tom sounds muddy/clashing with the bass. The high tom/cowbell is fine.

Anyone can have strong opinions like this but you have to realise there are millions of people that disagree with you. This is the first step in realising your opinions don't matter. If you really feel strongly about this, make a good vocal album, otherwise who gives a fuck what you think.

>>71100671
So fucking what. Most songs are made better by lyrics. Most people agree. It's good advice whether a bunch of patrician outliers agree or not.

>hurr make an album your opinion don't matter
Why don't you make an instrumental that can hold one single person's full attention for more than one minute and maybe just MAYBE gets them to even RELISTEN (Imagine that!) and we'll talk otherwise your opinion don't matter and your shitty instrumental will be probably be made ten million times more interesting with a few words to set the scene and some fucking personality. The human voice is the greatest instrument of all time. Fucking use it.

Thoughts on the loop so far? Can't decide if its good or trash.

you guys are fags i post links and you just listen to them and ignore them?

is it because you cant tell me to sidechain something so you are instantly out of applicable information?

its like all of you just circlejerk around your shit understandings of production and sound design and only have the ability to attempt to shit on other shit productions from a great height and as soon as anything even remotely not awful comes through all your balls suck back into your stomach because you know dont know fuck all about anything as soon as you cant just autistify your meme advice.

such a shit board filled with terrible musicians with unjustifiable taste in shit music, you tend to revere bad sounds, objectively low quality? why? god knows. but my bet would be because you understand literally nothing about music but enjoying stuff that others think is objectively shit allows you to seperate yourselves from the majority, because you are meta sheep. you lack such independent thinking skills that you attempt to build yourselves a path where you can claim to be different - the thing is - you are all fucking retards.

in my 2 years of intermittently coming to prod i have legit seen less than 10 posts with constructive advise, and ive seen even more posts in reply to these posts that bash the poster because the people reading it have a thorough lack of understanding of anything relating to both theory and production.

Why should someone comment on your clip? Its obviously not very good, otherwise you'd release it. The worst are the guys that say ' How about my clip? I need to fix the bass and change the..' Well if you don't respect your song and just do it, google what's wrong and fix it, and do it well, why expect anyone else to listen to your sketched idea? As if you're going to be surprised its shit?

Also if you can't tell its good or not then you have no business doing music at all.

What do you think of Scarlett interfaces?

Just face it, you'll never be famous.

You aren't special, no matter what your mommy tells you when you finish showing her ur shitty track and she has to lie to stop you from killing yourself.

You will never be a rockstar, you will never pioneer into new genres, you will never get the cars, the money, the women, or the attention.

You will never have young girls getting wet when they are in your mere presence.

But it's not like you had a chance to begin with? Martin Garrix went to an elite school of musicianship and has been producing for over 10 years, and he's only 20. At 18 he was touring the world, fucking bitches and getting money for producing child's play, whilst you fail to produce a musically coherent 4 bar loop.


There are 1000's of producers like this, child prodigies just itching for a chance to show off their amazing work, and you honestly think you stood a chance? No, you don't even have the intellect required to be a producer, so even if you "grind"(cringe) you will get no where and will never finish anything.

By all means, keep feeding money to Native instruments and cymatics, but keep in mind your going to have to work 9-5 for the rest of your life, and probably put in a few extra hours a week to pay back your debts.

The intro last too long. You sound slightly off tempo at times you should be using a metronome. Could be less repetitive and wider range of tones. You take too long to add new parts in. Really way too repetitive. You need to study up on phrasing. Gets better around the 4min mark but takes way too long to get there. You will have lost a lot of people's interest by then.

It's meant to be weird and off putting.

Need fucking orchestra plug ins or some shit, vst yo.

Sibelius sounds so fucking shit its not even funny

>>71109100
All the good orchestral libraries are 3rd party libraries for Kontakt.

>>71109129
fucking knotact, i could never get it to work. Ill try again, but what packs in specific?

>>71109157
How realistic are we talking? For top tier stuff, here are some good ones to look up and evaluate:
Strings:
-Spitfire Audio Sable Strings
-Spitfire Audio Mural Strings
-Orchestral Tools Berlin Strings
Brass:
-Cinesamples Cinebrass
-Orchestral Tools Berlin Brass
-Sample Modeling Brass (Extra hard mode- they are dry instruments that require reverb and careful modulation, but are extremely realistic)
Woodwinds:
-Orchestral Tools berlin woodwinds
-Cinesamples Cinewinds
Percussion:
-Spitfire Audio Orchestral Percussion
-Orchestral Tools Orchestral Percussion

All-In-One, Master of none, but still sounding decent: Spitfire Audio Albion ONE series.

Many of these libraries are in the 60GB range

That being said I'm also pretty sick of

And all the other advice that gets memed around. But its hard to give good feedback, ya know?

>>71091849
Sounds to me like the last two notes are off, so maybe if you look at https://www.pianoworld.com/fun/vpc/piano_chords.htm and try to fit in there you'd have better luck.

this is a good post.

also, I wanted to write a rant about how I seem to still be bottom shelf shit after producing for over 4 years, seeing that literally nobody listens to my stuff and actual producers I ask for feedback literally ignore me (after fucking meeting them live and them agreeing to help me).

so does anyone wanna buy ableton 9 suite / launchpad mini / korg dx 8 off me

>>71110359
>nobody listens to my stuff
do you promote it?

>>71110427
Not really, because
1 I have no idea how to do it effectively
2 My depression induced self esteem issues make me feel like I'm spamming people and being annoying if I even so much as share a link to my track on facebook

I guess I should work on that too

Is there any instument similar to this in that when you press two notes, it plays the pitch in between the two notes down to the microtone?

nothing personnel kid

Don't know how retarded this will sound but do people use both compression and sidechain? Like, do you compress a bass line to give it a pop-punchy sound or whatever, than sidechain it to the kick to make it sit better in the mix?

You have absolutely no understanding of playing a physical instrument and all of nuances in playing styles that change how the exact same piece played on the exact same instrument by two difference people sound.

So a useless attempt to sound deep by an idiot that can't even figure out how to samefag properly?

>>71115668
with todays technology you can invent any a new instrument and then use it to complain whenever someone doesn't know how to massage every last nuance out of it.

now that the computer/synthesizer and the human voice are the last truly useful and distinctive instruments available, all the other ones really just exist for nothing more than steampunk retro fetishism and trolling other musicians.

>>71115933

t. is the abbreviation for tfw, you turbo retard

>>71116189
he thinks we're the same person, give him some time to figure things out

>>71116012
Things such as the way you fret your instrument, the part of your finger you hold down the string with, where in relation to the fret you hold it, how hard you hold it, how far you depress it, the way you hold your finger or move it while hold the string, the way you change from one part of the neck to the other, the way you release and press down on a string and many other factors change how the exact same notes sound and give different players their own style and sound when playing the exact same musical pieces on the same instrument.

And that is just the left hand and doesn't even come close to all of the factors that change your tone with how you use your left hand on a string instrument.

Once you get into your right how and how you pick, pluck, strum, or bow your strings you get even more uniqueness in playing style. Things such as the angle of the pick both horizontally and vertically, the motion of the pick and bow, the way in which you attack the string and release it and a large number of other things all effect your sound.

No, robots will not be replacing musicians.

chords in the left melody in the right

or maybe bass in the left chords in the right you know i switch it up

sometimes i play with one hand and turn the knobs with the other

but what i never do

i use my mouse to be a faggot

can you imagine having to slide your notes around on a grid with a mouse to give some semblance of groove when you could just play it in real time which translates easily to the stage? awful!

AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

>>71116593
They are making programs that translate the instrument cable signals of string instruments into midi signals. It's a pretty fun way to add extra elements into your music on top of your keyboard.

It's pretty neat knowing how to actually play music and being able to mix all of the details and differences of actual instruments into your midi music now.

>>71116635
Oh, he actually learned how to play the instruments he composed for. That's part of the reason his pieces where so go.

>>71116660
It's true though, any actual composer would just laugh at you. I know composers and they learn how to actually play the instruments they compose for.

Now I'm going to go make some actually good music since I understand all of the ins and outs of the instruments I am making it with and I understand music theory.
